Welcome!

Welcome to a new blog for movie reviews!  The aim is to do a biweekly blog covering two movies a week.  We'll cover a broad range of film from thrillers to Westerns to Sci Fi to comedy.  Starting next week, we'll go through all of Alfred Hitchcock's available features before branching out into other genres.

We'll begin next week with The Lodger and Downhill, both from 1927.  The Lodger is the first remaining film Hitchcock directed which is still available.  His first picture, Number 13, was started in 1922 but ran out of funding and was never finished.  His second film, The Pleasure Garden, has not been released in North America on DVD.  His third film, The Mountain Eagle, has been lost entirely.  So we begin with The Lodger.  We'll then cover the rest of his films except for Mary which is a German language version of Hitchcock's Murder! which has also not been released in North America on DVD.  See you next week!
